The obstetrical dilemma hypothesis: there's life in the old dog yet

Abstract
The term ‘obstetrical dilemma’ was coined
by Washburn in 1960 to describe the
trade‐off between selection for a larger
birth canal, permitting successful passage
of a big‐brained human neonate, and the
smaller pelvic dimensions required for
bipedal locomotion.

This isn't a book club so I assume you read it and
hold an opinion. You must even believe it holds
some relevance, if not significance, else why cite
it at all? Seem it would behoove you to share all
that -- what you drew from it, why you think it
matters -- instead of sharing a URL and asking
people to read your mind.

This is a discussion group. Or, do I need to explain
to you what a "Discussion" is?

And don't worry. I suspect you are immune to shame
and my words now will fail to move you to discuss.
